During an uncertain time, it is our hope to encourage Girl Scouts to engage in building resilience at the home level. Girl Scouts who complete the Bee Prepared, Not Scared patch series will not only have taken charge of their learning but will be prepared and capable of taking a leadership role in their families and communities about preparedness.

Through the Masks for Medical Heroes patch program Girl Scouts, we can band together and make a huge difference in this time of need.
